You may never know how difficult it is to hunt for a rare gem as a wife until you are ready to settle down with one. When the time comes, you will know that women are many, but wives are few and scarce.
Hunting for a wife material is really a Herculean task. Getting a wife material is like discovering a solid gold, but girl friends are like metals coated with gold-like substance, when it expires it peels off. Friendships with the opposite sex expire but a true marriage does not.
Women are everywhere but wife materials are scarce, including husband materials. To those who glory in official girl friend relationships, getting a girlfriend is very very easy than getting a wife, and it expires with time.
Girl friends and boy friends are like actors and actresses, they are not real. They are perfect husband and wife materials on the movies; they are perfect parents on the movies but in real life,they are something else.
Boy friends and girl friends can go to any lengths in doing foolish and silly things they cannot do in marriage. They live in the world of pretense. But husband and wife live in the realistic world.
It’s no wonder, all over the globe, infidelity and divorce is on the high side amongst them. What they were is not what they are, and the more close you look, the less you see.
Nothing gives a man peace of mind like when he has succeeded in hunting down the right gem in a wife. The same goes to a woman who falls into the trap of a good hunter as husband.
Some years ago the wife of my professor wanted to sell her camera at a giveaway price but her interest was not in the money she gained but the buyer.
She really wanted a buyer who could manage her precious camera, and when she got a preferred buyer, she was so happy that her camera did not fall into the hands of someone who will misuse it.
If you are searching and hunting for a life partner that is a material, please, don’t hunt from social media, don’t search from movies, don’t hunt from a party or highway, hunt your gem from a real forest.
You can hunt down girlfriends from those places, but when it comes to a wife, they are not there. You hardly see wife materials in those places. There can be very few out there. Some ladies are very good for occasional ceremonies but in the home, they are not qualified.
Even in the church, you must shine your your eyes (watch and pray). Things are really changing. The church used to be a gathering of human angels, but today, the church has become like a hospital. A saying goes:
“Never rush to marry someone because you met in the church, church is like the hospital, not all patients are responding to treatment.” Some are very good, some are coverups. It’s also said that “all that glitters are not gold.”
Wife hunting is truly a task. I pray today for every hunter searching for the right gem as a life partner, may God grant you all the desires of your hearts. May you never live to regret the gem you have hunted.
May Proverbs 18:22 be your experience “He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the LORD.” And as “The blessing of the LORD brings wealth, and He adds no trouble to it.” Prov. 10:22.
